LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. LORD MAYOR'S COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant and a Jury). TUE LAW OP LIABITITY-SINGULAR AND IMPORTANT CASE-NORMAN V. EWINS. This was an action to recover £3l 4s 4d for goods sold and delivered, and defendant pleaded never indebted. Mr Henry James (instructed by Mr Lloyd) appeared for the plaintiff; Mr S. Joyce (instructed by Mr Ironies) re presenting defendant. The court was crowded by a number of persons interested in the result of the proceedings, a large sum of money being at stake. Mr James having briefly opened the case, called a wit ness in the eervice of the plaintiff, who deposed that he re ceived an order from S. D. Ewins and Co., Ave Maria lane, and had satisfactory references to well-known firms. Crossamined—l have not seen a Mr Hughes, but heard that a number of persons have signed a composition deed. Mr Stevens said he had been to Ave Maria-lane, Saw the title S. D. Ewins and Co. over the door, and Ewin and Hughes on the side p os t. _l2 Mr Crowther (in the absence of Mead and Powell), do posed that ho had nev:r received a circular notifying that Ewins had retired from the firm, nor did defendant mention to witnees that he had done so. Cross-examined—l had a conversation with Mr Powell, in presence of defendant, and said I was to . be called to prove that he was a partner. Mr Powell made the remark, " I thought you told me he ;was not in the firm." Other witnesses deposed to the name being over the door, and to the general belief that Mr Ewins was a partner, Mr Joyce, on the part of defendant, called his client, who said—l had carried on business for many years as a whole sale stationer at Ave Maria-lane. Hughes is my son-in-law. I left the business in 1862, and Hughes took it. My name was over the door. I had a circular printed when I left, but Ido not remember sending it out. My boy delivered it to my customers. I have not had one shilling out of the business since I left, and I objected to my name being up. If Hughes was successful I was to have per week out of the business. I never authorised him to receipt a bill of exchange in my name. Cross-examined—l did not take ray name down, because I did not think there was any harm in leaving it up. All customers knew I had left the business. Defendant's son did not remember leaving any circulars. Mr Hughes said—l took the business in 1862. My father-in-law never interfered. I have been unfortunate, and a number of my creditors have signed a deed of com position. Cross-examined—Everybody I bought of knew the busi ness was mine only. Although my father-in-law has ob. jected to my using his name, I have accepted bills with the name of " S. D. Ewins and C 0.," and kept that name upon the door. Mr James—But there was Ewins and Hughes at the side. Who was the Ewins, and who was the Hughes ? Witness—l was both. (Laughter.) lir Joyce then urged that on this evidence defendant was not liable. A rutin could not be made liable because his name was kept over his door against his will. Mr James insisted that defendant was liable if ho allowed his name to be used in the manner described. No man had a right to use the name of another against his will, and if defendant allowed Hughes to do it he must take the oon sequences. His Lordship, in summing up to the jury, said the first question was who was trusted by the plaintiff, and in look ing at this point they must also consider the mode in which the credit had been given. If thejury thought that defend. ant had allowed his name to be used in such a manner as to induce the creditors to believe him to be a partner, then he was liable. If he did not, and the name had only been kept up over the door as that of an old established firm, the customers knowing that he was not in it, then the verdict would be for defendant. The Jury, after a brief consultation, found for tho plaintiff. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr Commissioner Winslow as Commissicner.) IN RE LLOYD.-ITJDG3IENT. This bankrupt was described as a captain in the army , residing at Pimlico and at St Pancras, and applied for his release from custody. The bankrupt had obtained his order of discharge, but was still detained in custody at the suit of Mr Jones, tailor, Regent-street, for costs in an action, and for the detaining creditor it was contended that the order of discharge did not operate as a return against the creditors' present claim, which was for costs in an action, judgment not having been obtained until after the adjudication in bankruptcy, and the creditor had only been admitted to prove for the amount of the debt. His Honour now gave judgment, deciding that the order of discharge absolved the bankrupt from the costs, as well as the debt, for which the action had been brought, The order of release was therefore issued. IN RE EASTCOTT. This bankrupt was described as a mine proprietor, and had been a director of several mining companies, late of King's-road, Bill's-pond-road, and he now applied for his release from custody. The debts amount to £1,102, and no assets, the bankrupt appl3ing in forma pauperis, IN RE JONES. The bankrupt was described as of Mellon-street, Dorset square, lodging-house keeper, and this was a meeting far last examination, which had been adjourned for goods, cash, and deficiency account, and to answer requisitions by the creditors. Mr Bradleugh opposed on the ground that the accounts were still unsatisfactory. The bankrupt had put down the Mercantile Union and Investment Society as creditors for £1,500, holding security to the extent of £1,030, but he had not given any account of th 3 value of the freehold and leasehold property given up as security, and furniture sold under a bill of sale. Bankrupt had set down a number of accommodation bills, which in fact had been given to loan societies, in one case for £5O as security for £25. His Honour asked the bankrupt whether he intended to swear to those accounts. The bankrupt said he had given a bond for £1,500 to the Mercantile Union, and thought himself liable, as the ro payments of £l,OOO borrowed was to sxtend over 10 years. His Honour adjourned the case for further accounts. MARKETS--This Day. COVENT GARDEN. Moderate supplies of fruit and vegetables are on sale here to-day.

On Thursday evening the Solicitor-General, Sir Robt. P. Collier, M.P., and Walter Morrison, Esq., M.P.,in accord ' ance with the annual custom, met their constituents at the Plymouth Mechanics' Institute, for the purpose of rendering an account of their stewardship during the last session of Parliament. The attendance was exceedingly large, the place being literally crammed from floor to ceiling. David Derry, Esq , a veteran in the Liberal cause, presided. The SOLICITOR GENERAL, on rising to address the meeting, was received with tremendous cheating. After the cheering had subsid fi he said—Mr Chaieman end gen tlemen, allow me to thank you once again for reeponding to my invitation to meet me, gni I may add, &low me to thank you fn . the eat - tensely khed end fi itte.ieg reesption you have given me. Gentlernsn, I address yau now, for the second time, 'i a somewhat now character. Formerly I addressed you rs you- representative—not indeed 99 your representative only, but the representative of ell England.—. (hear)—as every member of Per';ement ought to be— (heer)—but upon We occasion, re upon a former one, I adelsess you es hclding a subordinate, but at the se ne time an imponent and responsible office rnder her Majesty's Government. (Hear.) Gentlemen, that you do not thank me wrong in accepting 'hat office, you t-si'fied by unari. mously re-electing me; and I shall not forget the ex tremely kind and flattering ras -nner in which I was received by ray constitutents, end I shall not forget, not merely the kindness of my Liends,but the courtesy of my political op ponente—(heee, hear)— nd I am induced to hope, gen'le men—to hope end believes —that although among my c stitaeuts end fellow-townsmen I may have political oppo nents—as of con 'so I have —yet I have no personal enemies. Now, gentlemen, I Trust that the manner in which I have performed the duties of my office hes not been such re to forfeit your confidence. The present times have been pecu liarly trying times for the law efficers of the Crown. A greater amount of labour, end a greater amount of respon sibility, hes been thrown upon us then usual, and that greater amount of labour end responsibility has chiefly arisen from the American war. The American war has given rise to questions of very great impot tance—to inter naticnal questions of the highest importance—some of them indeed governed by authorities, but others for which lawyers have searched the precedents and searched the books in vain. A great Lumber of new ques ti o ns have arisen which could be determined only by a r e f erence t o the g eneral prin uipica Uf iiit,.ativival law, and I may add, to the general principles of common sense and of justice, on which all laws ought to bo founded. (Applause.) Gentlemen, under these circumstances we have done one best to give that advice to the Crown which we deemed consis'ent with law. You are aware we are not consulted on questions merely of policy— we are consulted only on questions of law. Now, I believe the whole country approves of the determination of her Majesty's Government to maintain a strict neutrality be tween the two belligerents. (Cheers ) But, gentlemen, it is one thing to say that you n:11 be neutral—it is another to act with perfect neutrality, and in steering a neutral course you have to navigate between a number of rocks and quick sands. (Hear, hear.) There is a third more difficult thing still, and that is, so to act that you shall not be accused by either party of a want of neutrality ; and that I ventuee to say is impossible—(hear, hear)—for each belligerent, and neut. its more Egger partisans, regard all que s ti ons w hich arise :rom a totally different point of view; and i n f ac t th a t ne trality which each belligerent ropily desires, is partiality to itself. (Hear, red a laugh) It is t'iat sort of Irisi reci procity which is stated to be all on one side. (Laughter.) Now, I think it is some testimony to the real neutrality of the Government that we have been complained of by both sides ; we expected that wou'd be the case, for if we were really neutral that is almost unavoidable. Now, gentle men, you are aware that in most of the great ware which have e o it becomes u s , es a d e solated the world in modern times, E ng l an d, u ef or t una t e ly for herself, has L 'en a belligerent. In tl - is, the greatest end neourtra l e—(heer, lies-)—sad I ell, we oecupy the com parativelyp thinke hap y s the mo oul all novelet agree g desolating position r e that f great nation, now we ree neutrals, to submit te 'nose .ules which we laid down when we were belligerent;; for nothing would be more unwoinly of us—nothing world tend more to the dis repute of this nat'on among the nations of the world—if it could be stated that we laid down different rules and laws, according to the extent of our position —en one eccaeion being neutre's, end on another bel n gerente. (Hear, hear.) Therefore, to protest our belligerent eight-, we laid down certain r ulcs, which no doubt to some extent threw a bur den upon neutrals. That burden which we impose upon others it is our duty that ourselves should bear—(hear. hear)—end upon that principle—a principle of fairness and justice which eve. ybody will achnowledgt—ruy colleague and myself have given all the advice we have given to her Majesty's Go. verament ; end I may say this on behalf of my colleague and myself,—that, although I am not presumptuous enough to suppose that we have been always in the right, this I will assert—that we have viewed every question which came before us in en impartial end judicious spirit, end determined to do to the best of our judgment—(hear, hear)—without aliening ourselves to be influenced by um. pathy for either belligerent, or poet :elite? with the weaker for feet - of the stronger. (Hear, hear.) But where we have hed reason to thick that the Federal Government have violated international law—we have invariably thought it our duty to remonstrate and to require redress. (Hear.) Gentlemen. I think it but fair and proper for me to say that as far as the decisions of the American .terrz3 uours conce.aed, I think we have no great ground of complaint. (Hear, hear.) I do not say we have no cause of complaint, but I will not now dwell upon the subject. I may observe, perhaps, in parsing, that unquestionably I 'hick we have a gerund of complaint in this :—that a number of Irishmen and other persons emigrating from the shores of Ireland and of England, on their arrival at New York have been en trapped intnenlisting in the armies by most unwatrantable means—those means beheg employed, no doubt, by the subordinate officers—l do not'say by the responsible officers —of the Americ to Gove.ament. (Hoar, hear.) But I pass that by, and I do not mean to dwell upon it, but it gives me satisfaction, and I think it is fair to state, that the decisions of their prize cone have been, on the whole, such as we have no great reason to complain of. The cases have been fairly argued by counsel on both aides, and the American judges have paid as much respect to the decisions of our courts as to the decisions of their owe; and, although I do not commit myself to agree with every proposition of inter.. national law which has been laid down, or to the view of the facts always adopted by the courts, I think it fair and right to say that, upon the whole, the judgments of the American Prize Courts appear to have been well considered, and de livered with a desire to do justice. (Hear, hear, and great applause.) Gentlemen, I think you will say that wo have done right in advising her Majesty's Government to enforce the Foreign Enlistment Act. That is a statute passed, es the preamble recites, "for the purpose of enabling his Ma jesty the better to preserve the peace end tranquillity of this country," than which what object can be more boaeficial the whole community ? It is true that that statute is not very carefully d.awo, It has been somewhere stated that you may easily sail a fleet of ships through it—(a laugh)— but it is a staLute passel for the benefit of classes, and more especisny for the trading classes, and one which it is, I think, the du. y of the Peverement to enforce. Years es°, it ha 3 been said : that this is a statute which bears hardly upon the trading :classes of this country. 1 I emphaticeny deny it—(heei—ani I will call ee nay tett ' ness Mr Bl tinge ono of the leaders of the Conservative party, end, as you are aware, a men above all others who is entitled to speak on behalf of the great commercial classes of this country. Upon its being stated in the Howie of Commons that the Foreign Enlistment Act was a hard statute upon tredere—that it was a bad thing for us to seize the steam ream, and to prevent our ports being made the arsenals of one of the being-el-ones—Mr Baring got up, end in the most forcible manner showed that it is the preserve. tion of peace which is, above ell things, conducive to the real prosperity of the commercial classes — (applause) —th a t it is war which the legitimate trader has to fear—(h e;e )._ and ho repudiated with i edignent scorn the pretence that the trading classes of this country were fairly represented by a few contraband traders whose interests were directly opposite to the interests of the great mass of the commu nity, and whose gain was in the loss and calamity of another country. (Applause.) Gentlemen, the Alexandra was seized before I became a law officer of the Crown, but I altogether approve of the seizure of that vessel. Unfortunately it has happened—and I deeply regret it—that the decision in that case turned entirely upon a technical question, so that the real construction of that portion of the Foreign Enlistment Act applicable to the case has not been arrived at. I regret it; it is a reproach to our law. I cannot help thinking, gentlemen, that you will think that her Majesty's Govern ment were right ,in preventing those steam rams from issuirg inom the port of Birkenhead. (Hear, hear.) In that case we have come to a compromise, and probably you will think that discretion was the better of valour. Know ing the difficulties by which one is surrounded in the con struing of the Foreign Enlistment Act, and the difficulties attending a prosecution of this description, we thought it well to end the matter by buying those vessels. They, therefore, are now pert of the effective navy of this country, instead of isso;ug f r om our Ports to prey on the commute of a nation with whom we aro at peace, end possibly to in volve U 9 in hostilities. (Hear, and cheers.) I may say that the object of the Government lare been not to punish or in convenience individuals, but to prevent hostile creasers issuing ;rom our port's. And let us think of it; can any thing be more important—can there be a more important duty, not only to a friendly nation with whom wo are at peace, but to ourselves? Now adopt the golden tale, and do as you with to be done by. (Hear, hear.) Supposing we were at war with any European Power—(confusion in the gallery, and cries of " Order")—with the Americans if you please—a consummation which I hope will be averted — why our great naval superiority' would enable us to close their ports to prevent privateers issuing from them, and would destroy their navy and their commerce, but if the weaker nation were permitted to resort to the ports of a neutral country, and to use its porta as an arsenal to fit out fleets against us, what would be the use of our navel superiority ? Oar naval superiority would be thrown away, cud therefore it toucans us more than it dues any other Power in the world to enforce the doctrine that the ports of a neutral country shall not he made the arsenals of a foreign nation. (Loud applause.) We have also thought it our duty to prosecute impartially those who have enlisted in the service of either belligerent. Now, gentlemen, this conduct on the part of the GrovtLunvat had Leen wadi) the subject of one or two party attacks in the last session of Parliament, and it appeared to me, I must confess, that there was a small party in the House of Commons who appeared to desire to drive us by taunts and reproaches into a war with America, without at the same time committing them selves to that policy. (Hear, hear.) We were accused of sacrificing the honour of this country; we were accused of acting under the dictation of Mr Adams ; we were accused of truckling to the American Government,and.every possible taunt and reproach was used for the purpose of inducing us ) apparently for the purpose of showing our spirit,to go to war. At the same time, those who uttered these taunts and re proaches carefully abstained from pledging themselves to a warlike policy. What would have been the result ? Why if those taunts and reproaches had produced the desired effect, and if we had been weak enough to be goaded into a war, these very men would have turned round upon us and denounced us for that very conduct which they themselves endeavoured to force us into. (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, we did not fall into that trap, and if we had done so we should have richly deserved the censure which would have been bestowed upon us. (Hoar.) Gentlemen, I do not pro pose to address you at more length on the subject of the American war. On that general question I have addressed you once or twice before. I will not attempt to prophesy. It is very easy to prophesy ; and impossible to contradict prophets at the time, but events frequently contradict them after. But I will do no more than express a hope—a hope I most fervently entertain—that out of this horrible strug gle, out of this evil and this suffering, almost unparalleled in the history of the world, God in his own time will deduce this great good—the abolition of slavery. (Hear, hear, and loud applause.) Sir R. P. Collier then proceeded to comment on the foreign policy pursued by the Government during the past session, and defended the course which had been pursued in regard to the proposition for a European Congress and the line taken with respect to the Danish question. He then continued—Well, gentlemen, I have stated all that I mean to say upon the question of foreign policy ; and now a few words upon the subject of domestic legislation. Now I very much regret that the question of church rates appears to have been in so unsatisfactory a condition that no honourable member thought it worth while, or possibly thought it prudent, to challenge the opi nion of the House of Commons upon that subject. My old friend, Sir John Trelawny, who has faithfully served that cause for a number of years, has finally thrown it up, I am afraid, in disgust, and nobody appears inclined to take up his mantle, and certainly it is very much to be regret ted, according to my view, that the House of Com mons should have—what I cannot help calling it—fallen back on the subject of church rates—(hear)--for two sessions ago you will recollect for the first time we were in a minority on that question, having been accustomed to ma jorities ever since I have been in Parliament. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, a great many ingenious suggestions have been made for the purpose of settling this church-rate question by a eomprenaise. Almost everybody that I have met with has some pet plan of compromising this question. I must , say there is one short, simple, and easy way of settling it and the only way of settling it that I know of is to abolish them altogether. (Loud and prolonged cheering) Gentle men, I will detain you but a very few minutes longer. Some other questions in which I took a great interest have come before Parliament this session. I may mention shortly the question of the ballot, on which my opinions are altogether unchanged. You know I have always supported the ballot, and I shall always continue to do so. (Loud cheering.) I will not now enter into a discussion on that question, but will merely remark that one argument in favour of the ballot has not been sufficiently dwelt upon—namely, that you would not know the state of the poll until the end of it, and therefore there would be an end of that hanging back in anticipation of remuneration. I am not going to discuss the ballot, gentlemen, that is all I have to say upon it. I would further add, that I thought it my duty to support Mr Baines's motion for the extension of the suffrage. (Applause.) I have always been of opinion that the suffrage may be safely extended, and I have voted for that measure many years, viz., the £6 household suf frage. Gentlemen, the £6 household suffrage will be adopted when the people of England are determined to have it, and not before. (Hear.) I may mention that I had great pleasure in supporting the bill of Mr Bouverie for enabling dissenters to take degrees and vote at Oxford, tending to liberalise that University. I will not dwell further upon the various measures of the last session, but will merely observe this in conclusion, that notwithstanding the depression of the cotton trade, the prosperity of the country had been such, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer Was enabled to take off £2,000,000 from our taxation, in addition to £10,000,000 which he had previously remitted to the people of this country. I was about to say in conclusion, that there are some politicians who may be called habitual detractors of their country. Such are they who affirm that we have lost all our prestige in Europe, that we have sunk to the rank of a seeond or third-rate Power, or that we are become a by word and a reproach among nations. Why are these state ments made ? Simply because we have not engaged in unnecessary and Quixotic European wars. (Hear, hear.) I can remember many other detractors of our country. There have been those—and I am old enough to recollect them— who complained that when the Reform Bill was passed the sun of England's glory had set for ever. (Hear, hear, and laughter). There were others, who at the passing of any measures of free trade prophesied the irretrievable ruin of this country. I maintain that all these detractors have bee—, i. tree I 6 io Locomen WA have ab stained from unnecessary wars, because we have hus banded our resources, and applied ourselves to the extension of our commerce, that we are as strong and power. ful as we have become. (Cheers.) If any just or necessary cause of war should arise—and there can be no just or neces sary cause of war unless it be the repelling of aggression, or the vindication of our national honour—l fully believe that we are able to put forth stronger efforts than we have hitherto done, and I believe, moreover, that the continent of Europe know this well. (Cheers.) I further maintain that there never was a time in the history of this country when we were more powerful, more prosperous, or more respected. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I have now done. lam to be followed by my very worthy colleague, Mr Morrison, and let me bespeak your kind attention for him. (Cheers.) . , Mr Monnlsm also addressed the meeting, and at the close of his speech a vote of confidence in the two hon. gentlemen was passed. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Oct. 21.—The market for shipping yarns has again been almost a blank. • To do busi ness spinners must have accepted much lower prices. The market for these goods closes very dull, with less disposition than ever cn the part of buyers to operate. Home trade yarns have been very quiet, and spinners anxious to sell. Prices are ld. to 1 1 d. per lb. lower than on Tuesday. In cloth also prices have kept tending downwards, and at pretty much the same rate of decline that has taken place tram day to day in cotton at Liverpool. Very little bueiness could be effected to-day, and what sales have taken place have been made at very irregular prices, and at a reduction generally from Tuesday's rates. Ia addition to the failures mentioned in pre vious reports, several stoppages of manufacturers were mentioned en the Exchange, including one at Manchester, two at Burnley, one at Blackburn (to the amount of about £3,000), and one at Rad cliffe. At a meeting of creditors held this after. noon of Mr. Arthur Heald, a small manufacturer at Kelso, ISlessrs. Fitzgerald and Co., accountants, stated the liabilities at £6,000 and the assets at £2,539. An offer of 10s. in the pound was made, but the cvditors thought 15s. might be obtained, and the meeting was adjourned. A gloomy and very uneasy feeling appears to prevail generally. Merchants' letters from Liverpool and London, as well as foreign correspondence, are said to read badly and give cause for much apprehension. Private letters from Rio are said to represent affairs there as much worse than accounts which have as yet found their way into the papers. One letter gives the failnrs at considerably over 100 in number. — CARDIFF, 20th—Many of the shippers of steam coal are unable to get the requisite supply, owing to the pressing demand from Staffordshire. There is a fair inquiry on export account, but had not the present demand from Staffordshire existed, it is doubtful whether the trade would have been able to maintain its position as regards prices. The colliers in the Aberdare and Merthyr valleys are fully employed, and it is satisfactory to report that the men continue to work with regularity, and the attempts made to induce them :to take an active part on behalf of the Staffordshire miners have completely failed. In house qualities there is a good business doing, and, with the approach of winter, prices are getting firmer. Coke is in average request. The iron trade retains its vitality, although the export demand has fallen off to some extent. Rails are quoted £7 to £7 108 at the works, and bars, £7 5s to £7 12s 6d. The forest remains at a standstill, and at Aberaman important extensions and alterations are about to b 3 carried out, NOTTIN(3HAM, 21st.—At the Exchange hall 'o day the attendance was tolerable, but business was very flat, Spinners tried hard to support late rates, but where sales were forced lower rates had to be ' submitted to. The demand for hosiery yarns was flat, and prices were is per bundle lower than last week. bilks very firm, and tending upwards. Brown nets were an exceedingly slow sale, and there was not sufficient business dune to test prices. While the steamer Aquila was on her passage from Jersey to Weymouth, on Tuesday, one of the passen gers, a commercial traveller from Bristol, threw himself overboard. lie was, however, caved by a boat from the blvmuer, APORTING INTEILIGENCE—This May.

Edited by Csptain O Donoghue. Prophecies on the Cambridge shire. The following are the final conclusions arrived at by the various sporting writers in the weekly journals : (From Bell's Life.) We adhere to the impression that Gratitude is in danger of having the tables turned upon her by Ackworth or Planet, whilst that Saccharometer's was the best Cambridgeshire performance of the week we are still of opinion. But that Brick strikes us as being so very dangerous, and for a sneaking kindness we have for Bayard and Columba, we should conElently look for the winner among the quartette just named; and, as it is, the Cambridgeshire is so often won by an outsider that it is not bad policy to make a bold plunge among them, which wp shall do by looking for tho success of SACCIIAROMETER or PLANET. (From the Sporting Gazette) I consider Gabrielle d'Estrees, Summerside, Prince Plausible, Brick, Stockinger, Gratitude, Muczzin, and Ackworth the best to back, and I think the preference is due to Blum and PRINCE PLAUSIBLE, but should the race be destined to fall to an outsider, Columba or Narbonne may effect the coup. (Iron: the Sporting Gazctte ) I must choose as my representatives Gratitude, S took inger, Bacchus, Prince Plausible, and Brick, deciding, as heretofore, for STOCKINGER and GRATITUDE. (From the Era•) We think the old horses the most likely lot to furnish the winner upon this occasion, as they did the Cesare witch, and the lot we most fancy are Gratitude, Prince Plausible, Stockinger, Brick, Accident, Sacoharometer, Columbia, and Trap. These we shall reduce to a couple, and in taking SACCHAROMETER and PRINCE PLAUSIBLE, we trust the same good fortune may attend our selection as for the big race at the Second October Meeting. Gratitude must run to the front with her weight, but she is only a moderate mare after all, and must play second fiddle to each of our two champions if they be as good as reported. (Fro»z the Sunday limo.) We aro bound to take Brick, Princo Plausible, Saccha rometer, Stockinger, and the beat of Lord Westmoreland's lot, to beat the field, and we have the most faith in Buics. and STOCKINGER, but GRA.TITVDE must be supported for a place. (From. the Field.) The quintette I shall take to boat the field are Gratitude, Brick, Prince Plausible, Stockinger, and the best of Wm. Day's. Reducing thorn again, I finally settle down upon GRATITUDE and PRINCE PLAUSIBLE as the winner, leav ing William Day's representative, Brick and Stocsinger, to be next. (Front the Weekly Times.) I should, in taking a lot, stand on BIRCIII3ROOM, ACK WORTH, STOCKINGER, and GRATITUDE, giving the prefe rence to the first and last mentioned. (Fiom the Age and Pilot.) The conclusion we have arrived at after many hours' meditation on the subject is that for the winner we are bound to repose our contidence in GRATITUDE. The run ners up wo believe will be comprised in Stockinger, Trap, Erin-go-Bragh, Buick, Dr Syntax, and perhaps Muezzin, and of this lot for places we have the strongest faith in Trap, Erin-go-Bragh, and Stockinger. PUGILISM. (Flom Bell's _Life.) JEM MACE AND JOE COBURN. The final act in this drama has now been played out. We stated in our last that Coburn had received his £5O, and that we should be prepared on Thursday to hand over Mace's money to himself and Harry Brunton conjointly at our office. On Thursday, at the appointed hour, Mace and his valet, Montague, appeared, and were met by Harry Brunton, and also by several gentlemen who had put down money on Jem's behalf. We had during the week received numerous letters from well I - nown sporting gentlemen, re questing us to hand their money over to Brunton, and on our stating this fact to Mace he expressed a great surprise, saying the money was his; that it had not been found by Brunton; end that unless he was entrusted with it he would have no chance of getting anything towards his ex penses. He declined signing any joint receipt, and declared unless the money was delivered over to him solely he would leave it in our hands for ever. It was in vain we explained to him that those who had put down the money had done so with a reservation that in the event of no fight it should be returned through Barry Brunton ; he either could not or would not see the point, and insisted on having the money himself to distribute. In this we are bound to add he was mainly led by his philosopher, friend, and valet, Montague, and we sincerely believe had he been left to his own devices he would have seen the justice of the stake being given to Brunton, and would have trusted to him to use his influence in obtaining a sufficient sum out of it to repay him his expenses, and to compensate for his disap• pointment. Several gentlemen present protested against Mace receiving the money. They declared they should never have put down enytbing unless through Brunton's influence, and to him they looked for a return. All, how ever, said they would be happy to give Jem presents to wards bis expenses. Jam still would none of it; ho had come to receive his money, and unless he received it per sonally he would not have it at all. We now informed him that as the money was staked with Brenton on the under standing that if there was no fight it should be returned, we were abound to abide by that understanding, and that it was our intention to give Brunton the order for it, payable to him and Mace jointly. This did not suit Jem's book. A retiring fire was opened by himself and his friends, Mon- tague, Bunn of Norwich, end others, who declared there was no precedent for such a course, and that they protested against it in lota. As none of these gentry, however, had found ono shilling, their protest was of no avail, and we handed to Harry Brunton the usual order for the money. A warm discussion ensued between the adherents of either side, which was not put an end to until we requested the company to adjourn to some other place, and settle the mat ter between themselves. Shortly after theirdeparture Mon tague reappeared in our office with a legal notice to us, on behalf of Mace. not to part with the money. We were not unprepared for this, being fully alive to the dodges of the gentlemen who brought it, and having shown it to the stake holders, it was destroyed, and the money has been since handed to Brunton alone, who, we have nu doubt, will do what is right with it, and will rote , each backer his own again, subject to certain deductions for expenses end towards repaying the £lOO given to Cobura at the last deposit- We should perhaps not have been quite so hasty had it not been for the legal notice, but unsportsmanlike practices we never have and never will recognise, and Mace must therefore take the consequences of his friends' ill advice. It may be for their good to know that they have no legal claim on us whatever—not Is. has reached us from them—and if they have handed any money to Harry Brun ton, it will be against him they will have to take proceed ings. We do not wish to prejudice Mace in the eyes of his backers and the public—doubtless he has been ill-advised— and this being the case we aro willing to overlook a great deal. Brunton has promised to intercede with those gentle men who stood money on his behalf, and to render us an ac. count of any sums he may receive for Jun, and ho desires us to intimate that ho will meet several of Mace's Turf backers at Newmarket during the ensuing week, whore he will return them their money, and where ho invites Mace to bo preso at at the settling. He adds that as regards the other gentlemen who forwarded money to him for Moo, he will meet them at his own house, the George and Dragon, Beech-street, Barbican, on Tuesday week, to wind up his accounts. Here also ho will be glad to see to Mace. To those gentlemen Rho gave their money to Mace, or any other friends, Brunton can only say they must apply to those who received it. lie is only accountable to those whose names are on the two lists submitted to us by him and Mace, and from whom we have received letters making Barry responsible. As several c,anments have been made upon our giving Coburn the LIU; fur expenses, as there was no fight, we think it right le state that by the artielee Canna was to re ceive £lOO at tho last deposit fur his expcnsee, and no word whatever is the_ ein containedas te its being returned in can the fight did not come off. We now take our leave of the whole affair, in the hope that this may be the last occasion on Which wo may have tv tvivr tv aw.l. H dieete,revable POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This day, WESTMINSTER. INTRODUCING A SPANIARD TO TIIE MYSTERIES Or LONDON.—Frederick Maskell, a young man of shabby ap pearance, 20 years of age, describing himself as a servazi out of place, was charged bcfora Mr Arnold with stealin g two doubloons from Joseph Salbrucia, a Spaniard, who has recently :arrived in London, and who is entirely unac.. quainted with the English tongue.

Prosecutor Ras recalled and proved that the prisoner on Wednesday said he had no money ; 4s. was found on hi m when taken.

George Phillips, aged 19, and Thomas Speed, 18, in the employ of the Midland Railway Company, were brought before Mr Partridge, charged with stealing a quarter chest of tea, weighing 281bs. Daniel Davey, a clever detective officer, No. 169 H, said that last evening about half past 7 o'clock he was passing along High-street, Whitechapel, in plain clothes, and saw a two-horse van driven by the prisoner Phillips. Speed and another man were standing up in the body of the van, which proceeded along Commercial-street towards Shore ditch. A man in the van was tying up a quarter chest of tea in a coarse old cloth, and after doing so he went and sat along with Phillips on the driving box, leaving the chest of tea in the body of the van. In this way the van proceeded as far as York-street, Shoreditch, where it stopped opposite a public-house, and Phillips and the man on the box got down, and went into the public house, leaving Speed in the van. In three minutes Speed and his companion came out and stood at the tail of the van. Speed then gave the quarter ehest of tea (now produced) tied up in a wrapper. He immediately took the man with the tea into custody. Phillips jumped on the driving box, and was turning round the horses and van, when the man ho had in custody threw the quar ter chest of tea back into the van. He said to the man, " What are you going to do with that tea? No answer was returned, and the fellow kicked, fought, and plunged violently, and tried to make his escape. He kept fast hold of the fellow with his left hand, and held on to the tail of the ♦an with his right hand. Phillips drove away the van at the rate of seven or eight miles an hour, although he was repeatedly called on to stop. The thief he had in custody threw himself on the ground and kicked and plunged fearfully. He held him fast and dragged him along, still holding on by the van for half a mile, when ho became completely exhausted, and was obliged to let him go. Ho then jumped on to the van, and told Phillips to stop, but he would not. On reaching the City-road ho met with another policeman, called him to assist, and both prisoners were taken into custody. He also seized the quarter chest of tea which ought not to have been on the van at all. Phillips said ho knew nothing about the tea. Spend made no remark at all. The van was laden with cheats of tea, loaf sugar, and casks of brandy, intended for the Midland Counties Railway. George Kemp, porter at the Midland Counties Railway Goods Station, Rosemary-lane, Whitechapel, said the quarter chest of tea had been stolen from the bank or plat form there, and was intended for Wakefield, in Yorkshire. There were nine other quarter chests on the bank, The prisoner's van was loaded with goods at the station. John Walker, Midland Counties Railway agent, at the goods station, Rosemary-lane, said both prisoners were employed by the company—Phillips, as carman, and the other as vanguard. Speed was put into the office of the carman temporarily. Mr Partridge asked Davey if he was likely to arrest the third man, and on his replying in the affirmative, said he should commit the prisoners for trial on the evidence he had heard, but they would be brought up again a week hence for the completion of the depositions, and by that time he hoped the other thief would be in custody. He complimented the constable Davey for the great tact, courage, and vigilance he had displayed. LONDON GAZETTE—Last Evenings FOREIGN OFFICE, Oct. 11.
